hello there..

Thinks for efforts in making the rpms !! :)

I have a question for u though which I hope you'll answer:

is it ok to just use the fasttrack rpm on a pre installed (compiled) giFT with KDEgiFT client ?

and if yes how do you configure it ? because I"ve installed the rpm and cant setup the protocol.

thanks again man and hope to hear from u soon

Run "giFT-setup" to configure it first (this takes a time...) and then run giFT.

I get : This is perl, v5.8.0 built for i386-linux-thread-multi

AFAIK it's the version supplied with Mandrake 9.1. Stupid installation errors not giving more ofa hint why there's a dependency problem :(

There seems to be a problem with "datadumper". I know that's a perl thing...I had to fix it on gentoo. I'm using www.google.com/linux to try and find an answer...

I found perl-HTML-Index-0.15-8.noarch.rpm there...maybe that'll help?

Cheers. I installed with --nodeps option and it's all going fine now :)
I still have to figure out how to setup Fasttrack, I need some kind of a dummy fasttrack.conf file to put in the ~/.gift/FastTrack directoy I think.

I had trouble setting up fasttrack too through gift-setup. However, after I opened up my front end, I'm using apollon, you can configure it through the menu option.

Yep, works through Apollon. It also worked when I uninstalled and reinstalled the FastTrack rpm, it needed to be installed after giFT was set up for the conf files to be copied over.
